Subject: [PATCH 3.18 11/23] usb: musb: host: fix potential NULL pointer dereference

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bin Liu <b-liu@...com>

commit 2b63f1329df2cd814c1f8353fae4853ace6521d1 upstream.

musb_start_urb() doesn't check the pass-in parameter if it is NULL.  But
in musb_bulk_nak_timeout() the parameter passed to musb_start_urb() is
returned from first_qh(), which could be NULL.

So wrap the musb_start_urb() call here with a if condition check to
avoid the potential NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: f283862f3b5c ("usb: musb: NAK timeout scheme on bulk TX endpoint")
